This is the second beach bag I did. My first was posted here

and if you look at the first bag, you can see how much my petunia pot has grown since July 17 :)
This bag is a gift for the bride and will hold the Twisted Palms quilt I'm working on (almost done quilting the border!!).
The shell trim is a cotton webbing and was original a natural hue (off white), so I dyed it with turmeric and vinegar baths, with some dashes of paprika. The pattern is "The mesh of it - tote & go" by Lyle Enterprises. I added the pockets on the inside and the trim at the top of each bag.
These were fun! Can't wait to take them to Jamaica in October for the wedding. And the quilt too.
